Infrared
technology is considered by many to be the pinnacle of good grilling.
It sears the meat and keeps the juices in better than other kinds of
grilling. Infrared heat is complicated, but companies that have been
doing it for a long time are coming out with even better models.
The original infrared heat was created using ceramic plates.
Now all-metal infrared grills are coming out, and there are many improvements
to these new models. They last longer than the ceramic plates and provide
an even better cooking surface.
Infrared heat is radiant. The meat is not being burned
by flames, and there is very little air moving around cooking the meat,
which also dries it out. There are some new cleaning techniques that
are needed for the new models, but these are easily mastered.
